CORPORATION.

CURLlNG-IBON HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,168, dated June 13, 1905.

Application filed June 27, 1904. Serial No. 214,4:14.

To (all 11/71/0711, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MYRTLE I. ROBINSON, residing at 348 Grand River avenue, in the city of Detroit, county of Wayne, and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curling-Iron Holders and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in holders for curling-irons, and it is intended to provide a cheap, simple, and convenient holder which may be readily attached to or removed from a gas-jet, so that the curlingiron may be conveniently heated and may also be partly cleaned of soot by the mere act of removing the curling-iron from the holder.

My invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same parts are indicated by the same characters throughout the several views.

Figure 1 represents the improved holder in use, the curling-iron and the gas-jet being shown in dotted lines and the holder in perspective. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the metal blank, which is stamped out of a sheet of metal and subsequentlybent to form a holder, shown in perspective in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of holder in which the socket for the gas-jet and the socket for the curling-irons are made separate and are subsequently attached to the main body of the holder.

Referring first to Figs. 1 and 2, the blank is formed of a central longitudinal strip 1, having lateral wings 2 2, 3 3, and 4 1. The wings 2 2 are rolled up to form a socket B for the gas-jet g of the gas-fixture G. (See Fig. 1.) The wings 3 3 are rolled up to inclose the asbestos or other refractory tube E, the whole forming the socket C for the curlingirons. This asbestos or other refractory lining maybe held in place byteeth c, stamped on the wings 3 3 of the blank, or it may be held in place in any other convenient way. The wings 4 4 of the blank are preferably bent slightly, as shown at Fig. 1, to form a convenient support D for the handles of the curling-irons F. The wings 2 2 and 3 3 when bent over to form the sockets B and C may be soldered or riveted together, if desired; but if the metal used is stiff enough no fastening will be necessary.

In the form of device shown in Fig. 3 a single blank 5 is stamped out of the metal, having wings 6, which blank and wings are then bent to the shape shown in Fig. 3, and the sockets B and C are connected thereto in any suitable way.

It will be seen that the asbestos or other refractory lining E not only serves to wipe the soot off the prongs of the curling-irons as they are withdrawn from the holder, but it also serves to prevent the heat of the curlingirons from being transmitted directly to the metal parts of the holder from contact therewith, and thus in a measure protects the part D from being overheated, with the possibility of burning the hand of the user of the curlingirons. It will thus be seen that Figs. 1 and 2 show a curling-iron holder made of a single blank of metal, in which the socket for the curling-iron is provided with an asbestos or refractory lining. This lining, however, may be omitted, if desired, thus leaving the curling-iron holder formed of a single piece of metal.

In both forms of the device I show an eX- ceedingly cheap and convenient form of curling-iron holder, which may readily be ap plied to .or detached from the gas-fixture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. A curling-iron holder comprising a base member in combination with socket mem bers associated therewith, and disposed at substantially right angles to each other, one of said socket members being adapted to be supported by the gasjet, and the other of said socket members provided with a refractory lining and adapted to receive the irons of the curling-iron.

2. A curling-iron holder comprising a base member in combination with socket members carried thereby and disposed at substantially right angles to each other, one of said socket members adapted to fit over the gas-jet and the other of said socket members adapted to receive the irons of the curlingiron, a refractory lining for said last-mentioned socket member, and a support for the handles of the curling-iron.

3. A curlingiron holder made of a single piece of metal. bent to form a socket member for the gas-jet and a socket member for. the curling-iron irons, in combination with a refractory lining for said second socket member.

L. A curling-iron holder made of a single blank of metal bent to form a socket for the gas-jet, a socket for the curlingirons, with. a refractory lining for said second socket, and a support for the handles of the curlingirons, substantially as described.

5. A curling-iron holder made of a single blank of metal bent to form a socket for the gasjet, a socket for the curling-irons, With an asbestos lining in said second socket, and a support for the handles of the curlingirons, substantially as described.

6. A curling-iron holder comprising a bent strip having a socket for the gas-jet secured to or integral therewith, a socket for the curling-irons also secured to or integral therewith, a refractory lining for said second socket, and a support for the handles of the curling-irons in rear of said. second socket, substantially as described.

In. testimony whereof I alIlX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
